The UK continues to work closely with the Turkish government, including through implementation
of the EU-Turkey Action Plan, to ensure that refugees continue to receive support
and protection. We welcome Turkey’s generosity in hosting more than 2.5 million Syrian
refugees in Turkey, and the ongoing support it is providing bilaterally to refugees
amassing at its border with Syria. On 4 February 2016, the Prime Minister, my right
hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron) announced that the UK will more than
double our total pledge to the Syria crisis from £1.12 billion to over £2.3 billion.
This is the UK's largest ever response to a single humanitarian crisis.
